Embossed Impressions

Hi there, Have not blogged for about four weeks or so, as I have been in hospital with this dreadful flu that is reaching all over N.S.W. even though I had the flu vaccination it didn't cover the extra four strains of flu that came. Anyway I am at home now and have my "mojo" and getting energy back, so I made this card this morning to enter into the http://52cct.blogspot.com Autumn challenge " embossed impressions" I used a pale green card for the top cut out section which I used a Poppy Crafts Die "Bubble Labels" and shaded the edges with Distress Ink pad "Mowed Lawn" and for the inside where I embossed the three pine trees from Tim Holtz Alterations embossing folder (which is a quite old one) on cream cardstock and shaded the trees also with "Mowed Lawn" and the sentiment came from a very old die cutting set "Jolly" from Quickutz, I bought this set on e bay about 20 years ago, so don't know if it has been discontinued or not, but get it out every year when I am cutting Christmas Cards, because it is a very versatile set. Hope you all like this card, and I did enjoy making it, cheers, Jasann
